The main picture is too dark when shooting in backlight. How can I take a good image under the backlight?

To shoot a good image under the backlight, you can take the following measures:

1, using a reflector. The key to solve the problem of backlight shooting is to fill the light, because the light source is behind, so the front image will be dark, causing shadows. If we use the reflector on the front at this time, we can solve the backlight problem.

2. Use the backlight compensation function. We can press the backlight compensation key when backlighting. When the indicator light appears on the viewfinder or LCD screen, we can shoot the backlight, and then we can clearly see the object we want to shoot.

3. Clap your hands and move the aperture to adjust the exposure value. If your digital camera doesn't have the backlight compensation function, you can also turn on the manual aperture adjustment function during backlight shooting to appropriately improve the exposure value.

Extended data

Backlight is a kind of lighting with artistic charm and strong expressive force, which can make the picture produce an artistic effect completely different from the actual light we see with the naked eye at the scene.

Backlight photography is a means of taking pictures by using light. Broad backlight should include full backlight and side backlight. Its basic characteristics are: from the light level, total backlight is the light emitted from the subject's back to the camera, also known as "backlight"; The side backlight is the light from the camera's left and right 135 back to the subject. The light receiving surface of the subject accounts for 1/3, and the backlight surface accounts for 2/3.

Photography skills

Backlight shooting in photography often produces unpleasant halos and halos. However, everything is not absolute. As long as it is used properly and combined with good composition, backlight shooting can also achieve beautiful results.

1, brightening the background without filling the foreground can get a strong silhouette effect and a good rendering atmosphere.

2. More details can be obtained by properly filling the foreground with reflector or flash.

3. Backlight shooting can produce dazzling contour light around the object, which strongly outlines the appearance of the object.

4. When shooting subjects that are easy to transmit light, such as flowers, trees, etc., the backlight level can be adopted, and the subjects will show stronger texture.

5. Pay attention to the composition when the lens has severe halo, and adjust the lens position slightly to avoid the halo covering the subject.

6. Backlight shooting will affect the accuracy of autofocus, and you can focus accurately by manual method.

7. Avoid looking directly at the sun through the viewfinder for a long time, causing visual damage.
